Food Photo Styling





一張好看的食物照片是怎樣做成的呢?之前提及過的食譜圖片,就是像上面的好。

 在網上找新食譜時,無意中發現了一篇關於食物照片 styling 的文章,令我大開眼界!除了基本的攝影技巧,還希很多事情需要留意。

“Natural props are a great and easy way to add subtle highlights to your shot. Everything from herbs, spices, fruit, nuts, vegetables, sugar, peppercorns and more, can be used while you compose your scene.” 

在照片中除了重點的菜式,包括了材料的確令照片更加有趣,亦可以用來美化照片的構圖!下一次焗甜點前要留意有那些特別好看的材料吧!就連平日會立刻扔掉的蛋殼原來也是很有用的啊...!

“It’s always important to remember that food is your real star and the props you use are there to help you enhance the scene and the appearance of the photograph.”

就是因為這個原因我開始四周搜尋漂亮的餐具!純白色的,玻璃的,花紋的...全部都想買下來了!比較儲玩具,儲餐具還不錯,不但有實際用途又可以令食物更好吃!

”Color and texture are two important aspects of photography as both play vital roles on a few levels.”



看到這一張照片我就明白了...蕃茄們看起來是多新鮮!

“Start by analyzing the color and color combinations of your food, then select the background, pick out the bowls/plates and napkins accordingly."

分束的過程會很有趣吧!不過即使有了漂亮的餐具,還要漂亮的餐巾,漂亮的桌子......真想換掉家裡的餐桌,還有廚房的雲石!!!

“Use your background like you would a canvas and start painting.”

以這樣的方法創作對喜歡食物的人會是一種娛樂,食物 + 藝術,是一百分!


我很喜歡那種對所有的那種講究,看來我要下一些苦功了!
